In this episode of the SXS Guys Offroad Podcast we’re joined by the infamous Canadian UTV jump record holder Al McBeth along with Wheeliefest recorded holder, and mini-McBeth, Brandon Radach of the Pacific Northwest! We talk about their backgrounds and how they started doing long jumps and wheelies, also getting into their machines and how they set up their cars to do these crazy stunts!
